Why Do You Like Coaching: I love coaching because it gives me the opportunity to work hands on with clients to help them to see the potential in themselves. I love teaching movement and believe that functional movements help keep you healthy as you age, so being able to coach people through those movements, learn about their bodies, gain confidence and find strength they didn’t think they had is extremely rewarding. And the best part is I get to do it all while making people sing and dance along with me, so I couldn’t ask for anything better.

Andres Valencia

Years doing crossfit and brief synopsis: I was introduced to Crossfit in 2009 while overseas. My first workout was a combo of Filthy Fifty and Fight Gone Bad, “Filthy fifty gone bad”. Crossfit was my first introduction to barbell movements such as the deadlift, power cleans, and squats. Up until that point y training consisted primarily of running and calisthenics with your weekly bench press.. Crossfit was also gave me my first platform to coach and I am forever grateful for it.

Something special about you: I once walked the Grand Prix Course in Monaco and ended up getting lost and got back to where I was supposed to be by asking for instructions in Italian. That’s something I’m pretty proud of considering it’s a French speaking country.

Why do you like coaching: I love seeing the transformation an athlete makes mentally and physically after they’ve spent some time training. Initially Crossfit can be overwhelming but in time seeing the athlete make progress is the most rewarding aspect of coaching.
